FLAX INVITES Supports France-based and Southern California Cultural Partners by Offering Accommodation to Artists, Curators, and Critics Who Need Time in Los Angeles to Work on a Specific Project

The FLAX Invites program allows artists, curators, and critics to spend time in Los Angeles by offering accommodation at the FLAX House in Highland Park. Beneficiaries must be invited by France-based and Southern California cultural partners, nonprofit organizations, or artist-run spaces for an educational or research-driven project with no commercial purpose. Consideration goes to a wide breadth of cultural producers with diverse practices and institutions that have varied functions, with a focus on France-related projects.
